Plugging along catchin, though no hot action yet (6 carp in 2 hours), including this personal best 33lb 6 oz runner!!! ....beat my previous of 25lbs!...Nice, but wantin a common that big!!!!...good luck all!!!

I was using a panko, strawberry jello powder, sweet corn and birdseed pack bait on a 30g method lead with a hair rig with fake corn on an ultralight rod......I find I can tell the grass carp hitting as they "tap" the bait as opposed to slow pulls/runs with commons; more like catfish.....that's where the subtle bite technique works well- the rod doesn't work well with bite alarms, so it is a constant watch..........
